Eight Day of Forest Dance, Year 3126 Under the Light

It is with the greatest joy and pride that I am able to announce that on this day, under the light of Unidar and Diadar, my son, Wilhelm Ritter Wolfhaven was born. My happiness outshines the light of the son.

But, even as his mother swaddles and rocks the boy, I cannot help be think on my Rangers, so many out of contact, lost and trapped behind enemy lines. Farspeaker Moonsilver cannot contact Alpha Team in the desert, but by our estimation, they should be approaching A’Tora. If they are not dead. My Long Recon Rangers have vanished into a Tempest Portal at the heart of the most dangerous places in Shaintar. Truth be told, every agent sent in to scout Tempest has failed to get close, or died in the attempt. That, or disappeared. To the north, the White Silver Wolves and our “allies”, the Prelacy, close in on Lanier with the entire might of Shaya’Nor’s army bearing down upon them. First and Second company are still trapped in the Clannhomes, surrounded.

What world are we making for our children? What will it be? Will any of us still be alive to see it with them when they reach adulthood?

Joy and sorrow. It would seem that such things go hand in hand. Still, having Rah-Sahn and Aradove here, our families together. Even in midst of all chaos, we still have each other.
